Faithful God, I lift up health care workers and first responders who are working in South Carolina and throughout the country today and tonight. I am grateful for faith communities and clergy who continue to provide support, care and inspiration for workers. I pray for all who are feeling isolated and disconnected as this pandemic continues. Be with workers as they provide emotional and spiritual care to those who have COVID19 and other chronic and acute illnesses. I lift up all workers with the hope that they will continue to take good of themselves, even as they care for others in these most difficult times. I give thanks for sustaining faith, and religious and spiritual practices which help us to stay grounded and rooted in the core values of grace, hope, long-suffering, and most of all, love. For all these things, I pray, amen.
